The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Chapter 291 23 Rumors about Black Magic

Cedric reached out and took the book away from her eyes and placed a plate of peeled grapes in front of her.

"Do you remember what you promised me, Zhu?" he said seriously.

"I didn't do anything." Sun Zhu picked up a piece of purple fruit flesh. Hmm, it was sweet, juicy and seedless, top quality.

"You have been reading for half an hour while eating. I said not to overwork, and this also includes this aspect." He looked very businesslike. "Learning runes should also be gradual..."

"Gradual progress? How dare you say that to me?" Sun Zhu complained, "I'm still learning the alphabet, and you've already started reading articles from a dictionary! What subject have you never learned? What on earth did Aunt Fiona teach you?"

This feeling of powerlessness is like a kindergarten kid who is still learning a, o, and e, and sees his peers around him already starting to do junior high school classical Chinese reading questions.

What an outrageous act!

No wonder his handsome face only attracted the attention of some girls from other colleges and other grades. Most of the girls from the same college and grade as him, if they had a competitive spirit, hated him to bits.

For example, Fina had no filter for him at all. She often told Sun Zhu that once you get to know the leader classmate, you will feel stupid. People who live just to set him off will hardly not be hated. But he has a good temper, strong ability, is helpful and fair and thoughtful, so you can't get angry with him.

Sun Zhu felt that he was going through a process: doubting Fina, understanding Fina, accepting Fina, and becoming Fina.

It turns out that distance creates beauty!

Cedric took another plate of sliced ​​melon and said, "Try this. I'm just watching for fun. I don't really understand a lot of it..."

Sun Zhu took another bite of the melon and decided to ignore the Versailles in his words.

"Senior Sun!" Several calls came from afar. Sun Zhu swallowed the fruit in his mouth and turned around to see the three little ones running towards him breathlessly. When he got closer, he noticed that their school robes were a little messy due to the wind.

"Ah, Senior Diggory is here too." Hermione greeted him politely, then sat down on the other side of Sun Zhu and asked in a low voice, "Senior Sun, have you... been struck by a dark spell?"

The grapes in Sun Zhu's hand rolled out in fear.

Harry and Ron behind her nodded in unison: "We all know that."

"How did you know?" She widened her eyes in surprise.

Although theoretically the three of them knew that anything was possible, but... it was still a little too fast.

Cedric also asked seriously, "Excuse me, where did you hear about this?"

"We followed Professor Snape last night and heard him say, 'That weird girl from Hufflepuff has encountered some weird things again. I hope she's not being stupid this time. After all, dark magic is not fun.' His tone was so disgusting! It was only when Madam Pomfrey said that she did detect some traces of dark magic in you that he shut up." Harry complained, "How could he scold you like that?"

"Although he said so, you also realized that it was me." Sun Zhu ruthlessly exposed, "Harry, it turns out that you see me this way too."

She held two grapes in each hand, cut a mark under each eye, and began to pretend crying.

"Senior, isn't your focus a little wrong?" Hermione shook her arm, "And we always understand his words in the opposite way. Right?"

She turned around and glanced at the two people behind her, and Harry and Ron nodded immediately.

"Oh, right." Sun Zhu looked at Cedric who seemed to be thinking about something, "Why did you guys follow Professor Snape?"

"He confiscated the notebook I borrowed from Percy, and we want to know where he hid it..." Ron explained: "Percy will definitely want to skin me alive if he finds out."

"Follow him, and steal the things when he's not paying attention?" Sun Zhu scratched his head. "This may be a bit difficult. It's better to just ask Professor McGonagall to help you get it back."

Anyway, notes are not something that should be hidden in public.

By the way, why did Professor Snape confiscate the notes?

"That's a notebook that records dark magic. It's what Percy wrote down when he was taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts class last semester." Ron said in a dilemma, "I don't dare let Professor McGonagall see it."

"...Wait, you were reading your Defense Against the Dark Arts notes during Potions class, and they were all filled with notes on dark magic?" Sun Zhu was somewhat impressed. "Only you guys can do something like this."

"Anyway, after Harry found out about this, he said he would help him steal the notes back." Hermione said, "And we can definitely do it. If we hadn't overheard what he said, we would have succeeded now!"

"So confident?"

Sun Zhu pondered for a moment, and indeed saw Harry's mysterious face as he said, "I have a very powerful prop. It was given to me by Headmaster Dumbledore, who said it was originally my father's."

Well, with the invisibility cloak in hand, it is indeed easy to float.

"Believe me, even if you have such a magical item, it is still not enough to deal with Professor Snape."

After all, when he was a student, he probably suffered a lot from it, so he already has some experience.

Hermione and the other two were stunned at the same time, but Harry quickly denied it: "Impossible, we are going there tonight!"

Sun Zhu spread his hands: "I wish you good luck."

"Senior, you haven't told us yet, is it true or not?" Hermione quickly realized that the topic had been diverted. "You were really struck by a dark magic, was it Snape who did it?"

"It's not that exaggerated. As for Professor Snape, this matter really has nothing to do with him." Sun Zhu quickly clarified, "Didn't you hear it? If it was the professor who did it, would he react like this?"

"Maybe he's just pretending." Ron guessed, "He's the one in this school most likely to be in cahoots with the Death Eaters! No, he seems to be!"

Sun Zhu had a headache.

She fully understood that the three little ones were prejudiced against Snape, but she had not yet figured out whether or not to clarify for Snape and how to explain it for him.

Some things they needed to discover on their own, and there was no way for her to tell the truth directly.

"Thank you for your concern. Actually, this is a misunderstanding." Cedric said, "Zhu was accidentally touched by a dark magic item and was affected by it. It has nothing to do with Professor Snape."

It is said that this is also the explanation Quirrell gave to Dumbledore - he insisted that he would not actively use dark magic on students. But perhaps during his trip to Albania, he accidentally brought something contaminated with dark magic, which affected students with weak willpower and resistance.

"Yes, that's right." Sun Zhu said hurriedly: "So you have to be more careful when you are in school. Study hard and ask the professor for help if you have any problems. As for Professor Snape... He is indeed poisonous, but don't worry too much."

After all, his poisonous part is not the black magic, but his mouth.
